Review — Crimes of Passion (1984)

★★★★★ Yes, I give Crimes of Passion five stars. I saw this movie when it was first released on VHS during my college days. It is even more important of a movie today than it was then. I see some enterprising geeks are remastering it for 2K now as well.…

Review — Official Secrets

★★★☆☆ Official Secrets has a lot of people giving it pretty high reviews, but I’m not. The movie had the potential to be so much more. Based on a true story. Real life spy/espionage. Governmental abuse of power. This had the potential to be way better than Smiley’s People. What’s…

Review – Die Hard

★★★★☆ Yes, I saw Die Hard in the theater during its original run and my dating days. Bruce Willis was really at the peak of his game then. He was coming off the success of Moonlighting. Being young and a good looking kind of every-man, he had it all. He…

Review – Momentum

★★★★☆ Olga Kurylenko gives a stellar performance in Momentum. James Purefoy and the rest of the cast really help sell this film as well. Honestly Olga is becoming one of my favorite actors. I first encountered her in Hitman (which I own a copy of) and you’ve also seen me…
